    Period Play

    Interesting idea to play in a more 'authentic' pyrate fashion (though what does authentic mean anyway?). The trouble is the game world/universe would need to be brought into alignment in order for it to be feasible to play as a real pirate might. I am inclined to think the game seems to have far...

    That damned Claire Larousse

    It seems I spoke too soon. I still require assistance/advice in this increasingly irritating quest... Having captured the gold and killed the redcoats, I gather I am to head to the bay, namely Gray Rock Bay. I also presume this means on foot. Having eventually found it (since terribly helpfully...

    Pre Build 13 Modpack

    This has probably come up before, but I can't think of way of checking easily. On infrequent ocassions whilst in battle, the canon sound effects are absent, in that the canons fire, but without any corresponding 'boom'. Generally this isn't the case, and the sounds are very good, but every once...

    That damned Claire Larousse

    Anyone finding the whole Claire Larrouse quest troublesome after Build12 and the Post-Build12 stuff installed? Generally I steer clear of the quests (never liked being forced into linear plot-driven scenarios), but having made the mistake of signing up with Claire I couldn't get rid of her...

    A Merry Read an Bonney - Reading Suggestions

Villains of all nations: Atlantic Pirates in the Golden Age. London: Verso. ISBN: 1-84467-008-2 In a similar manner to Cordingly's...

    Fighting mod

    How do I screenshot?!

    Quick question on the subject of screenshots, having taken some via F8, when I open/view the TGA files in photoshop textures are missing (the sea pretty much and parts of the sky are transparent) but in-game everything is fine and very pretty. Any ideas why? Do I need a different program to view...

    Ammo mod: concerning officers supplies

    Can anyone tell me whether I must supply my officers with gunpowder and pistol shot/grapeshot if they have guns? According the readme it says officers who come with guns have ammo, but does this run out or change if I give them a better/different pistol? (eg, if officer came with a short pistol...
